Comments

Digital data play an increasingly important role in how we understand the present and the past. Understanding and using digital data are as intellectually demanding as any other archaeological research endeavour. This course focuses on understanding the workflows in digital data to make the most of the digital data that archaeologists produce as well as data available on the internet. In this course we you will strengthen your data literacy, learn to manage, assess, reuse and communicate the data our discipline creates and refers to. An important aspect of this course will be to explore the infrastructure of long term archives available online, what we can learn from the data online and how these can be leveraged for further research projects. close
